How Fleishman Career Center Works with Faculty

Bring Career Information to Your Class In our ongoing outreach efforts, Fleishman Career Center staff is interested in identifying
opportunities to connect with undergraduate and graduate students through the classroom.

Class Visit Consider inviting a Career Center staff member for a:

10 minute "commercial" about Career Center services

Class presentation, (for part of or the entire class period) on topics such as:

overview of Fleishman Career Center services

how to explore careers

your major and your career

resume writing, cover letter writing, effective interviewing

how to find an internship

how to find a job

professional etiquette

other career-related topic of interest.

We also can help out in a pinch: If you need to or are considering canceling a class, just contact us to see if we
are available to make a presentation instead. Fleishman Career Center can assist in
arranging class presentations by professionals (many of them alumni), who can talk
about their experiences and how their major has helped them in their careers.

Integrate Career Assignments into the Course Curriculum

Include a required or optional assignment to prepare a resume and/or cover letter.
If you would like to require students to have their drafts reviewed in Career Center
please coordinate a due date with your school's/college's Career Center liaison listed
below.

Include an oral or written report on an informational interview with a Binghamton
alumnus or other professional about their career.

Join, and Encourage Your Department's Alumni to Join, the Binghamton University Alumni
Association Professional NetworkThrough the Binghamton University Alumni Association Professional Network on LinkedIn, students and alumni can tap an expansive group of alumni for networking. Current
students looking to learn about career fields, expand their professional network,
and/or improve job search strategies, are encouraged to join the LinkedIn subgroup
specifically for student-to-alumni professional networking. Included in the Student-to-Alumni
Professional Network subgroup is a network of Binghamton alumni who have volunteered
to be contacted by current students regarding their career. Alumni network volunteers
can provide information and assistance whether you are conducting a job search, considering
graduate school or contemplating a career change. Although the Network is not an employment
or placement program, it is designed to help you connect with alumni and tap their
talents and insight.
